ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan football program's 2012 Mott Spring Game presented by PNC Bank and the "Battle at the Big House" men's lacrosse game against Ohio State will be held this Saturday (April 14) at Michigan Stadium. The spring scrimmage and lacrosse game are free to the public, but the University has teamed with C.S. Mott Children's Hospital in a fundraiser for the new hospital.

Fans are encouraged to arrive early for the football and lacrosse games as traffic will be heavy around the stadium because of construction and the anticipated large crowds. Please be aware that Stadium Boulevard is closed just east of Kipke Drive to South Industrial due to the Stadium bridges replacement project. Please plan ahead and consider alternative routes to and from Michigan Stadium, as delays in this area both before and after the day's events should be expected. Visit the project website at www.annarborbridges.org for detour maps and additional information.

The gates to Michigan Stadium will open at 9 a.m. The fourth annual Victors Classic alumni flag football game will start with introductions at 10 a.m. Following the conclusion of the alumni game, Team 133 will take the field for warmups at approximately 11:30 a.m. The final spring practice and scrimmage will begin at noon and will be broadcast nationally by the Big Ten Network.
